Xander ,'Empty Places'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
How much XTC sounded like Gang of Four in their early days.
Was this post-Barry Andrews? Because I can totally see that. I would think those helium-injected keybs of Andrews would seriously mitigate any Go4 comparisons (despite his ending up with Dave Allen in Shriekback).
VH-1 Classic - Movies that Rock.
Oh shoot! I wonder if it will be on again.

It's pretty early in their career. 1980-81? It's one of the only clips of them as a live band.
They do "Respectable Street" - a song I used to put on all my party mixes in college.
I never understood how Belinda was all curvy when a crazy coke head and how skinny when cleaned up.
Depends on what else she was doing at the time, but I know a couple people who put on the pounds when doing a lot of coke. Basically, they stop exercising and they feel like they can drink a lot more, both of which more than counteract the metabolism speed-up.

Well, if you all still have VCRs I can tape it for you.
I have the VCR but is no longer hooked up. I bet it will be on again though.
OH! right - alcohol! I remember when my diet strategy one semester was to switch from beer to liquor. good times.
"Respectable Street"
Lead-off track for Black Sea (album #4), so definitely post-Andrews. Killer song too.

Yeah, I think they cycle through their library. They've also shown Ladies and Gentlemen...The Fabulous Stains and Times Square.
I had Tivoed Urgh! A Music War
Hey, I watched that last night! Tivo was kind enough to copy it for me. It was quite awesome, and yet I was glad I could forward through some of the songs.
